Senior UI/UX Engineer

Summary

We’re a small team inside TransPerfect building a massive internal platform—a low-code application builder that’s powering how our entire company operates. It’s ambitious. It’s complex. It’s not “done.” And that’s exactly why it’s fun.

What We’re Building (and Why It’s Kind of a Big Deal)

We’re building a low-code application builder used across the company. You’ll help define how this whole thing works. You won’t just “work on UI.” You’ll partner closely with product and design and engineering to balance performance, usability, and flexibility in a complex environment.

The Kind of Engineer This Role Needs

• Comfortable when things are a little messy
• Figures things out without a playbook
• Strong eye for design and knows when to pivot
• Think like both a developer and a designer
• Doesn’t panic when priorities shift or structure evolves

Core Technical Stuff

• React / Next.js (deep experience, not surface-level)
• Advanced state management (handling complex, nested, high-volume UI state)
• TypeScript (strict mode)—you’re comfortable modeling complex systems
• Component architecture—you’ve built systems, not just screens
• Styling systems (we use a mix of MUI + Tailwind… yes, really, so experience in both is preferred)
• Performance tuning (keeping things smooth even when they shouldn’t be)

Design Mindset

We need engineers who care about UX, not just functionality. You can design dense interfaces that still feel usable. You think about how users actually interact with systems. You understand tradeoffs between flexibility and clarity. You’re comfortable shaping UX—not just implementing it.

The Basics (Still Required)

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience
• Experience building highly interactive web apps
• Strong performance mindset
• Familiarity with modern frontend tooling

Where Your Career Is Going

At TransPerfect, there are a lot of growth opportunities. All departments offer career growth and development that can combine your skills, interest and experience. We encourage our employees to have a continuous dialogue with management about growth opportunities throughout your tenure with the company.

Final Thought

We’re not pretending this is a polished, perfectly structured role. We Are Saying If you’re the kind of engineer who thrives in ambiguity, likes solving hard problems, and wants to help shape something big. You’ll probably love it here.
